[quote=Anonymous]1) Northwestern’s acceptance rate for the class of 2923 was 8.9%. For the class of 2022 it was 8.4% (record low). 2) OPs student is in 10th. A single C in 10th is not the same as a C in 11th or first semester of 12th. 3) PP above is right - what will matter is where she is academically compared to the rest of her graduating class. If others are applying to the same schools with equal or better stats + a hook (such as recruited athlete or legacy) that will affect her chances far more than a lone C. It is also something you can do little about. 4) If she is thinking about college now .. focus on identifying safeties she would be happy to attend. It may be harder to identify these but is essential. Falling in love with your reaches is a bad idea given the competition and sometimes random nature of the admissions process. 5) Have a great and relaxing summer. [/quote]
